i got the brake pad change to the low dust. I did feel a change in the braking feel and thought they didn't have enough bite but, i found out it was just me. The new brake pads give a nice linear feel letting you do smooth stops. I dig em' plus they don't give off a dust cloud when you brake

Also, do they have a rear application as well??

Brake Dust is a biotch on the IS-F!!!

Thanks

I went with their "Bobcat" formulation and they have both front and rears. They fit perfectly, sweep the discs identically to the OEM Brembos, are quiet and, therefore, and I am quite happy.

Bobcat 1521™.. I just found them... Thanks..

$300 for Fronts & Rears..

I'm getting ready to ditch the oem bads soon.

Normally, I like to replace with OEM, but not this time..

I'm also researching another brand called Posi-Quiet by Centric
(which is the company responsible for "StopTech")
